Cool
temps, twenty-mile-per-hour winds from the west, with gusts up to and
over 30 mph, didn't deter 13 riders from coming to Wayzata on September
3rd to bike the beautiful Dakota Rail Regional Trail. Trip
co-chair Patty was tempted to cancel the ride, but she was happy for
the great turnout.
11
riders took off with the faster group and fought the headwinds all the
way to St. Bonifacius. The winds were especially strong as they
crossed the bridges over parts of Lake Minnetonka. The casual
group of 2 persons, rode at a pace that was very pleasant and didn't
feel the winds much at all, except for one bridge where they thought
they may get blown off the bikes. The trail passes several
beautiful homes along Lake Minnetonka and it is nicely shaded.
Both
groups returned with smiles on their faces, saying it was great to be
together with Ullr friends. They joined 5 Ullr walkers that came
to picnic by the lake, in the shelter of harbor.
